How to get more than 140 connections into Reality on Windows
WARNING:
This procedure involves the use of Windows Registry Editor which, if you use incorrectly, may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Northgate cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. It is therefore suggested that a backup of the registry is taken before attempting modification. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
In order to effectively maintain more than 140 connections into Reality it is advisable to modify the following Windows Registry Key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\SubSystems\Windows
The default data for this registry value will look something like the following (all on one line):
%SystemRoot%\system32\csrss.exe ObjectDirectory=\Windows
SharedSection=1024,3072,512 Windows=On SubSystemType=Windows
ServerDll=basesrv,1 ServerDll=winsrv:UserServerDllInitialization,3
ServerDll=winsrv:ConServerDllInitialization,2 ProfileControl=Off
MaxRequestThreads=16
The numeric values following "SharedSection=" control how desktop heap is allocated. These SharedSection values are specified in kilobytes. There are separate settings for desktops associated with interactive and noninteractive window stations.
NOTE:
If the SharedSection values in the registry are modified, the system must be restarted before the changes take effect
The value '512' which controls the size of the desktop heap for each Reality connection (telnet) should be modified using the following formulae.
3.5 * No. of Connections + 10%
e.g. for a system with 250 connections the value as calculated below would be '962'
3.5 * 250 + 10% = 962
